Introduction Polyciclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) Anthracene PAHs is mostly produced by incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of fossil fuel, wood or waste and release of petroleum products. Why are we interested in? Several PAHs are probable or possible cancirogenic for humans They can persist in the environment for a long time, bioaccumulate and they are affected by long range transport Italian limit value (D.
